The Trinitas family celebrated our 2012 graduation on Friday, May 25 with a class of five students who each completed over 160 hours of community service, 27 credits of coursework, written senior thesis, oral presentation, and an oral defense. Graduates were Alice Stout, Andrew McCrabb, Blake Schroeder, Kanaan Trotter, and WinstonKimmel. Pastors Rob Looper of McIlwain Presbyterian Church and Uriesou Brito of Providence Church presented the ceremonial homilies after which the attendees celebrated together at the alumni “ebenezer”. Pastor Alan Stout gave the benediction, asking God’s blessing on the graduates.

During the Trinitas Honors and Awards ceremony held the day before, the graduating class challenged the Trinitas family to embody the four cardinal virtues from the medieval period which intrigued them during their 11th grade studies. Specifically, they encouraged the students to strive for temperance, courage, justice, and prudence.

This graduating class was offered in excess of $365,000 in scholarships and accepted over $145,000 to continue their educations. May God bless each on his continuing journey.

Matthew Gross, a 2009 graduate of Trinitas Christian School, was selected as a 2012 Mississippi State University roadrunner. The Mississippi State roadrunners are students who serve the Office of Admissions and Scholarships welcoming prospective and new students to the University, giving campus tours, and writing official correspondence on behalf of the university. Master Gross was one of 32 students out of 239 selected for the honor.

Colby Gilley and Abigail Gardner, both Trinitas Christian School 8th grade students, were named finalist and semi-finalist respectively in the Phaedrus Latin Contest.

New Saint Andrews College in Moscow, Idaho sponsored the contest where 215 students participated to win 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes of $500, $300, and $200 for the best original fables written entirely in Latin. Twenty-six students were recognized as “finalists” and 33 were considered “semi-finalists” in the contest established to advance student achievement in Latin.

Trinitas would also like to acknowledge Caleb Heifner, Jon Adler, and James Craig for their contest submissions. Well done, students!

Trinitas is proud to announce our 2013 National Merit Scholarship Program (NMSQT) entrant, Miss Kylie Rupert. According to the NMSQT, “Of the more than 50,000 students being offered this service, about 16,000 will be named National Merit Program Semifinalists, representing the top scorers in each state, and approximately 34,000 other high scorers will be commended for their performance on the PSAT/NMSQT.” We ask that the Lord will continue to bless Miss Rupert as she progresses in the competition. Well done, Kylie.

One of the highlights of the junior/senior trip to Washington D.C. in March was the students’ visit to Congressman Jeff Miller’s Capitol Hill office. The aesthetics trip also included visits to the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the White House, Supreme Court, and ice skating on the mall. The students’ favorite was the National Gallery of Art where they enjoyed seeing the various works studied in their traditio classes. Although the students raised money for their trip, they were humbly blessed by the generous anonymous donor who lightened the fundraising burden.

Trinitas student athletes received letters, pins, or medals for their participation in volleyball, soccer, and basketball during the 2011-2012 athletic season. Special recognitions were also awarded to individuals in their respective sports.

Mr. Joshua Butcher was the evening keynote speaker and presented an address to the students and their families titled “Christian Culture and Sports“. We are grateful for the perspective he provided and the challenge set before our sports program.

On February 21st through 24th, Trinitas will open our doors to the community to visit classrooms in session, tour our facility, peruse curriculum, and speak to members of our family about the classical and Christian education we offer. Visitors are welcome from 8:00am through 12:00pm.
